My 2 bobs on ANZAC Day and the great points raised below.

I never had a public holiday on operations. It is not an earned “right” for every civilian across the nations of Australia and New Zealand. Be thankful, and don’t be a di****ad.

Don’t feel embarrassed to ask a servicewoman/man about their service, we’re happy to share - but not everyone will want to share everything - so don’t feel ignored, just respect their journey as it is.

Many find it tough to head out on ANZAC Day - or to wear their medals. There are all sorts of reasons why. And that’s ok - it’s their experience to hold close.

Many have mates who aren’t with us anymore through their combat service. But for too many, mates aren’t with us because of overwhelming internal demons: that hits the mates left behind the most. All parts of the services are touched by these tragedies, but it’s our Special Forces that suffer the most. And that’s why I do my best to look after as many of my SF mates as possible.

A touch on BRS. It’s a polarising issue for everyone - for a myriad of reasons. All service people have their opinion, a small few are intimately close, the significant majority have no idea. Just don’t bother brining it up - in my opinion it’s an issue too big to hassle diggers with on ANZAC Day.

Lastly, please honour Vietnam and contemporary vets: we need the recognition as the years go on - and we deserve it as much as anyone.

Lest we Forget.
Doc Sam.

Absolutely stoked with the craftsmanship of the team at for our project. Magic flowing wooden panelling in the waiting room is just divine and the hero of the space. Gorgeous reception area, and a bit of greenery to finish it off. Clever cabinetry makes the consulting rooms incredibly functional. Very happy. Come check it out! (📸: ; funky artwork )
